UMBRELLA Filed Dec. 28, 1931 E. Corn/ c verv TOR Patented Mar. 21, 1933 ,UNITEDWSTAVTES PATENT OFFICE EMILE 0031110, or. rears; FRANCE UMBREL A Application filed December as, 1931, Serialj No. are in France July 2a, 1931/ The present invention has for object improvements in umbrellas, particularly for allowing to make them of strong and elegant construction and to easily manipulate 5 the cup which, in closed position, covers the ends of the ribs and holds them pressed against the umbrella stick;

In a preferred form of construction of the umbrella according to the invention, the

cup is rigid with the handle, and the whole can slide on the upper end of the umbrella stick, whilst the ring carrying the ribs is rigidly secured on this stick, as in ordinary umbrellas.

A suitable returning device, preferably arranged within the handle, constantly urges the latter towards its lower position,

in which the cup is in engagement with the ribs in closed position. 7

This device has the same advantages as those, already known, in which the relatlve displacement of the ribs and cup is ensured by the sliding movementof the rib-carrying ring on the umbrella stick, viz: a simpler and more elegant assemblage of the handle and cup, and a more positive operation of the latter.

Moreover, a particular advantage of the device according to the invention consist in that the returning spring and the parts slidably mounted on the umbrella stick,

arranged at is upper end and no: longer at its lower end do not risk bein rusted or a p o 3 wedged by water or mud.

The cup 9which serves'to hold the ends of theribs is rendered rigid with the handle" ill, which is perforated from end to end with an axial hole 11a. The whole is threaded on a rod 21 screwed at 21a to the upper end of the stick 20 of which it forms an eXten-L sion; This rod 2Ltern1inates, at its. upperpart, by a knob 21?; which projects at the top of the handle.

At its lower part, the handle 11 has a recess 11b forming an extension of the hole 11a, and in which is fitted a socket 22' secured to the cup '9 byany suitablemeans: welding, beading or the like.

A returning spring 23, arranged in the socket 22, is threaded on the rod 21. and,
